ABs would legitimately be better off picking Plummer as 10/12 utility.

Sorry for the dumb questions but what does this mean for the Rebels future/Tarniet proposal? Does this mean that $19 mil is what the final debt number is? EDIT - I now see the article below.

Seems like a rather huge distraction either way just hours before kickoff

Let's not go nuts

I want whatever you are smoking. 39-0 vs Rebels and now up against a Reds team who just lost a heart breaker. An extra day's rest. Reds have to travel.

Funaki hardly got an armchair ride vs Reds and was again highly impressive. 2 try saving tackles. Chased the kick that hit the post which lead to a try. He's playing consistently well

Wonderful game. Reds blew in the last 10 minutes by trying to shut the game down - as has been said too many poor kicks. Tim Ryan wow - his ability to change direction at pace is incredible. Invest in him not the likes of Vunivalu. I wasn't too angry at the Blues during the game because they...

I will never understand why Pat Lam had Lachie Munro starting and Rene Ranger on the bench. A classic case of a coach over-thinking it.

I guess that's where we differ. Funaki in my view is much stronger in contact (look at his work with messy ball and cleaning out), a better runner, has a lower error rate is a more accurate passer and doesn't make the regular bone headed decisions that Christie does. Funaki in my view is an...

Whilst I don't disagree with you - my question would be why (assuming both continue their form and are allowed to continue to start). There's paddling pool depth at 10 and Christie is simply not as good of a 9 as Funaki. The 4 halfbacks for 3 spots should be Perenara, Fakatava, Ratima and Funaki

New coaches at the Blues and Canes are leading to players who haven't played for the ABs yet really putting their hands up for ABs consideration For the Canes Numia, Lakai, Iose, Proctor (should already be capped), Naholo, Love For the Blues McWhannell, Riccitelli, Funaki and Plummer come to...

I see Marshall tipped the Brumbies. Deserves another punch in the face by Akira.

Brumbies started well and their disruption/counter attacking of the Blues breakdown was a good tactic. Unfortunately for Brumbies they blew a try when they had advantage before Funaki got binned and then were playing catch up all game when Blues went ahead. Turning down 3s was frankly dumb -...

They stayed in Auckland
